  • A lower proportion of children in Brighton and Hove are getting enough exercise than before the pandemic, new figures show.

The article from MSN discusses a concerning trend in Brighton and Hove, where fewer children are meeting the recommended levels of physical activity compared to before the onset of the global health crisis. According to the Active Lives Children and Young People Survey, only 47% of children and young people in the area are achieving the Chief Medical Officers' guideline of at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day. This figure represents a decline from previous years, highlighting the impact of the lockdown measures and changes in lifestyle due to the ongoing effects of the health crisis. The article points out that this decrease in physical activity could have long-term health implications for the youth, including increased risks of obesity, mental health issues, and other chronic conditions. Local authorities and health experts are calling for increased efforts to promote physical activity among children, through school programs, community sports, and family-oriented activities to reverse this trend.
